Sunset Overdive: The Weight of the World on its Shoulders

Sunset Overdrive has a lot riding on its shoulders. The Xbox One, since its release, has been held under a microscope and seems always to fall short of its console competitor, the PlayStation 4. While the Xbox One has had more exclusive titles in the current cycle than its counterpart, only beating out Sony by one title(19 vs. 18), however 11 of Sony’s 18 are downloadable titles versus Microsoft only having 7 of theirs the same; it has still been an uphill battle for Microsoft since the end of the last generation life-cycle. This is why Sunset Overdrive has the weight of the world barring down on it.

The game looks fun and definitely entertaining. Unfortunately I won't be playing this anytime soon as I've yet to purchase a XB1 and probably will not for a long while. I'll be getting my PS4 this holiday and will probably have a significant amount to get through before I get around to thinking about the XB1.

it might move a few units and to be fair the preorders for this game has been low and to consider you have call of duty around the corner 2 let alone having farcry 4 and GTA 5 approaching fast aswell so i can see this game do good but not brilliant

Looks like fun for a rent or used for a steal just to romp around and check out the game mechanics. From the let's plays I've watched doesn't seem like I'd play to the end just jump around till I was bored..

Saving grace? It baffles me to think that ppl even think this game will be a system seller. I mean sure ppl will buy it due to lack of quality games in general but this will not be a system seller, nor a saviors thats for sure. People are hyping this game up a little too much just because of the lack of quality games in general.

I honestly don't think that this is the type of game that will do well on Xbox. Their core fan base enjoy shooters and COD is coming shortly. I wish it was multiplatform for Insomniacs sake. Game looks cool.
